Advantages of Emergency Shower
Exposure to Dangerous Chemicals
In environments where chemicals are handled, accidental spills and splashes can occur without warning. Safety showers and eye wash stations are critical for promptly washing away hazardous substances from the skin and eyes. Quick rinsing helps to minimize the impact of chemical burns and related injuries.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
Certain hazardous substances carry the risk of fire and explosions. In the event of such an incident, safety showers provide a critical first line of defense, helping to extinguish flames on clothing or skin. Having these emergency showers readily available ensures swift action, reducing the risk of serious injuries and further damage.
Adherence to Safety Regulations
Ensuring compliance with these regulations not only enhances workplace safety but also helps prevent expensive fines and legal complications. Regular inspection and maintenance of these stations are crucial for upholding safety standards.
Managing Corrosive Substances
Corrosive chemicals pose a serious risk to skin and eyes, potentially causing severe damage. Safety showers and eye wash stations offer prompt and efficient decontamination, helping to prevent lasting injuries. Having these emergency fixtures readily accessible is crucial and can significantly impact the outcome in an emergency situation.
Accidental Ingestion or Inhalation
Accidental ingestion or inhalation of hazardous substances can lead to serious health risks. Having safety equipment like emergency showers and eye wash stations nearby can aid in swift response, reducing the potential harm. Quick access to these facilities can help mitigate the effects of exposure and prevent further complications.
Enhancing Workplace Safety Culture
Promoting the use of safety equipment like emergency showers and eyewash stations helps strengthen a culture of safety in the workplace. When safety measures are prioritized and easily accessible, employees become more aware and proactive about maintaining a secure work environment, leading to fewer incidents and greater overall safety.
Types of Emergency Shower
Ceiling mounted emergency showers
Ceiling mounted showers are - unsurprisingly - designed to be hung from the ceiling. This gives you the freedom to locate them close to particularly dangerous areas of your workplace, although this makes them inappropriate for larger venues with high ceilings.
Wall mounted emergency showers
Wall mounted showers are fitted horizontally to a wall. They are probably the easiest to install, but also offer the least flexibility - especially when you consider that the ANSI regulations require safety showers to be located no more than a ten second walk away from hazardous areas.
Floor mounted emergency showers
Floor mounted showers, also known as freestanding showers, are designed to be mounted into the floor of your your workspace, meaning that they can be installed almost anywhere. Floor mounted showers are useful for the largest venues, especially those with wide ceiling or complicated layouts that would prevent the use or either wall or ceiling mounted showers.
Combination showers
Combination showers comprise both a safety shower and eye wash station. Although you may be tempted to use an ordinary drench shower for eye wash purposes, the water supplied is of too high a pressure to be used for eye washing, and could cause further injury.
Emergency Shower Station Requirements
Flow: The station must have a flow of 0.4 gallons (1.5 liters) of clean water per minute.
Temperature: Water should be delivered between 60°F and 100°F on demand. In the event of exposure to hazardous materials, workers must use the station for a full 15 minutes. Maintaining eyewash for that long will be uncomfortable with cold water and even more irritating to the eye with hot water.
Velocity: The fluid velocity must be low enough to avoid injury.
Maintenance: The station must be able to maintain this flow rate for at least 15 minutes.
Valves: The valves must be simple to operate and activated in one second.
Signage: The station must have highly visible signage, which helps employees easily locate eyewash stations.
Activation: The station must be activated weekly to make sure it functions properly and can supply water.
Inspection: An annual inspection should be conducted to ensure compliance with standards for operation.
Distance: An eyewash unit must be within a 10-second distance of the workspace. It takes the average person walking at a normal pace about 10 seconds to cross 55 feet.
Height: Nozzles for eyewash stations should be at least 33 inches from the floor and no more than 45 inches from the floor. Ensure the surrounding area is not obstructed. Every employee should be able to easily access the eyewash valve and faucet, so keep a stepstool nearby if necessary.
Components of Emergency Shower
Showerhead:
Delivers a broad, gentle spray pattern (min. 20 inches diameter) for full body flushing, with a low, non-injurious velocity.
01
Eyewash/Eye-Face Wash:
Provides a gentle, simultaneous stream to both eyes (and face in combination units), typically at 0.4 GPM (1.5 L/min).
02
Stay-Open Valve:
A large, easy-to-find handle or foot treadle that activates the water flow and stays open without manual holding for 15+ minutes.
03
Tepid Water:
Thermostatic mixing valves ensure water is between 60°F (15.5°C) and 100°F (37.7°C) to prevent hypothermia/thermal shock during extended rinsing.
04
Dust Covers:
Protects showerheads and eyewash nozzles from contamination when not in use.
05
Chemical Manufacturing and Processing:
Facilities involved in the manufacturing, handling, or processing of chemicals.
Laboratories:
Research laboratories, whether in academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, or other research facilities, often handle hazardous substances.
Mining:
Mining operations involve the use of various chemicals and materials that pose risks to workers' safety.
Manufacturing:
Industries involved in manufacturing processes, such as metal fabrication, automotive manufacturing, and electronics production, may use chemicals and materials.
Oil and Gas:
Oil refineries, gas processing plants, and other facilities in the oil and gas industry handle hazardous substances.
Healthcare:
Hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities often use safety showers and eyewash stations in areas where hazardous chemicals or substances are handled.
Agriculture:
Agricultural operations, including farming, pesticide application and fertilising.
